I really like Jackalopes at the moment, so I decided to make a flower crown with felt rabbit ears and branches to look like antlers for Beltane.

Gather your supplies. You'll need a couple of branches which look like antlers, so head into the forrest and hunt. You can either use real flowers or fake ones to decorate your crown or a mix of the two - so keep an eye out for pretty flowers too.
Start by cutting two 2" squares from white felt and fold the opposite corners together into a triangle.
Pinching the triangle at the bottom, fold either side backwards to create an ear shape.
Pin in place where you've been pinching and cut off excess fabric from the bottom and sides to make it look more ear like.
Stitch at the bottom.
Make two cute ears.
Trim your branches to the right size for antlers.
Tightly wrap some white ribbon around your headband. Starting at one end, folding, glueing and winding up towards the middle.
Glue your first ear in place and secure onto your headband by wrapping the ribbon around the bottom of the ear.
Glue and tightly wrap a branch in place for your first antler.
Continue your way around the headband until your reach the other end.
Pick some flowers.
Glue along the middle of your crown and you're done!
